wireless battery-operated glasses that blink maybe a thousand times a second
That's insane..on so many levels. They don't need to blink any more than 100 times a second at the most, probably closer to 50 would be something they might try to obtain. I wanna see a picture of someone wearing some glasses with a 12volt car battery hanging off each ear to power them. Yeah, thats a comfy way to watch a movie. The hummmmm would drone out the noise of any movie.
I'm so freakin old (43 and 3 days) , I remember when they did a update on the 3d movie process back in the 70's. Was pretty funny. I'm a sucker for that kinda stuff though. I remember when the used to promote movies with Sensesurround or some thing like that. Earthquake was promoted like that, and Battle for Midway I think. I think it was just huge subwoofers cranked up so you could feel the pounding in your chest, but at the time it was promoted as something not every cinema could do, as though it may shake the foundations.
I had the scratch and sniff card I kept from seeing Polyester at a midnight session on it's first run too, but I lost it a couple of years ago. That was a fun idea. The whole cinema groaning and roaring with laughter when they scratched one of the numbers as it flashed up on screen, and it was dirty socks. George, with his love of poo-jokes, should latch onto that gimmick. He could just fill the whole card with different kinds of poo.
